Desmond Elliot reacts to criticism over commissioning of toilet

Filmmaker and politician, Desmond Elliot, has reacted to criticism on his commissioning of a public toilet in Surulere, Lagos.

Desmond came under fire on Thursday when he tweeted news of the commissioning of the public biofil toilet at Love garden field Surulere.

The toilet, according to him, was donated by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Ladi Lawanson.

In another tweet on Thursday, Desmond said “This isnt just a building , not is it just a toilet , but one that converts waste to manure so nothing is wasted as we keep the environment clean.”

Nigerians then took to Twitter to accuse the Lagos lawmaker of doing too little for his constituents.

They asked if constructing toilets was the best he could do in his four years in office.

But then I thought @deselliot would come with a different view from what they (YOUTH) called the old order but unfortunately he has lined up with the very OLD ORDER….

Not too young to run, not too young to run

Boom!

The very young Desmond Elliot commissions this toilet as constituency project.

Lesson: Don't give positions of authority to people based on their age. Age, whether old or young, isn't one of the characteristics of a good leader. pic.twitter.com/hVrREyL5KD

In response on Friday via Instagram, Desmond, appearing undeterred, advised his critics to ensure they exercise their civic rights by voting in the elections.

“Be there saying he clear gutter, build toilet, issokay… vote tomorrow ooo!!!” he wrote.
